Secret to subscription
Wed, Jun 24, 2020
The world doesn’t need one more blog to subscribe to because there are over 600 million blogs on the Internet.
Surely, you must have seen the sign-up box with an email field giving you the option to stay updated.
Yet, 99% of blogs never manage to get that box checked by web visitors.
Do you know why? Because we don’t start with why.
Don’t:
- Ask people if they want to stay updated
- Tell people to sign up for more information
- Beg people to stay subscribed
- Show just a box to input their email address and a SUBMIT button
- Ask them to subscribe before adding value
Instead:
- Tell them clearly what they’ll get
- Explain how it’ll benefit them
- Confirm how frequently they’ll get it
- Show social proof
- Give them a sense of community
BONUS: Create a bonus resource that they’ll get on joining the community.
All the pop-ups and forms won’t save your blog if you are not being useful to your readers.
Takeaway
To leverage long-term loyalty, start with why they should sign up and how to get started.
Send me an email about the best way someone asked you to subscribe to their blog.
